  JWLEAKS.ORG is back for 2019 with a Scandal

  by jwleaks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yep, we are back after taking some extended time off.. the jwleaks.org website had been archived for some time.

  i was concentrating on other jw-related projects in relation to say sorry.. but the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, who no longer claim to be infallible, decided that in their fallibility the best use of 'dedicated funds' would be to launch civil action against me in a us federal court.

  to this end watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc., sent their attorneys after me.

  The downfall of the Governing Body

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  in a book i read a while back by the sociologist randall collins he says truly powerful people don't get angry because they get what they want in other ways, and he shows a picture of two runners where the one who's losing looks at the girl that passes her rather than ahead at the finish line, guess she doesn't wanna win the race after all.

  i want to apply these to the governing body and their actions, the pattern of their actions, in printing all the hateful rhetoric against people like us and why l'm pretty sure, pretty damn confident in fact, it's all downhill from here... thanks to them and them alone.. the moment you let somebody get in your head and let them stay there they beat you, they win, they establish power, we got in their heads, they know we present a threat to them, we won't shut up, we're more brazen than we used to be, we're in the news, we're on tv, we're online we're at conventions we're in the kingdom halls, hell we're just about everywhere.

  yeah, we don't have this completely down yet, sometimes we come on too strong or do something stupid, and i'm pointing the finger at myself here too, but for the most part we know how to fight this battle: we drag them into the light when they wanna hide in the dark like jackals lurking in the woods sneaking up on weak and wounded deer.

  If you'd been on this site for any length of time and/or read other exjw sites, you'll see that the common thread is that they will slowly decline at the least, and implode at the most.

  Either way, the religion is in hospice.

  by days of future passed in

  2. beliefs

  i always get curious when someone posts an article from the wt.

  so i end up going there to look around at the whole article and find other things that are curiouser and couriouser.. certainly, god’s thinking is superior to that of today’s world.

  living by his thoughts will bring us the greatest happiness and success.

  How dare you put your family first. What's wrong with you? Don't you know you must obey the GB first?!

  Jehovah's Witnesses including its leaders are in the business of lying

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ......endeavored to create an image of the organization which they are a identifying part of.. when you think about this religious organization and most its social ideological expressions are expressed through lying.

  its doctrines are lies and not supported by the bible.. the leaders intentionally twisted doctrines to enhance the proliferation of the literature the wts published, which were a false theology through their interpretation of the bible.

  the proclamation that jws are generally good wholesome living honest people.. there is constant endeavor by the people involved to hold up a pretentious veil of honest righteousness identifying the organization and its adherent followers.

  Library now cleared out

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  well, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.

  during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.

  i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.

  It will be something if they start doing this everywhere. Otherwise, is this perhaps an isolated incident?

  What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

  too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

  maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

  I hate to say it, but, I think the GB will take over even more control, somehow. Seems like there's an elder's letter for just about every little thing.

  February 2018 Watchtower - Addressing abuse Victims

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there's a preview note on one of the articles in this newly released watchtower.

  the note can be found on an article titled "part 1 of 4 love and justice in ancient israel".the note states -.

  this article is the first in a series of four that will discuss why we can be sure that jehovah cares about us.

  I think this WT article and the rest in the series is their attempt to try and put into the minds of JW's a number of key points to get them to believe the governing body over common sense and media coverage:

  1. You can't blame the org (Jehovah) for the child abuse

  2. The same type of things happened to God's org (Israelites), so it can happen to God's org now

  3. Don't try to take matters into your own hands, wait on Jehovah (do nothing) and he will take care of it at Armageddon because he sees everything.

  4. There are lot's of fine examples of brothers & sisters who were abused and they are coping by relying on Jehovah (doing all things JW). Then they will list a couple examples of JW's with a snippet of their story to make others who were abused think "if they can rely on Jehovah, why can't I do so also?"

  5. We must never be like Satan and the opposers by trying to intervene or be critical of Jehovah's org. (Don't try to steady the ark, or don't say where is Moses and start doing foolish things)

  On a side note:

  I noticed that in the recent WT article on "Do You Have the Facts", twice they said that disaster was averted by the people relying on "trustworthy men" to get all the facts for them. Then in the article, they slyly make the assertion that you can get the facts on jw news tab. So, trust the governing body, "you'll be safe with us"

  Conventions, Kingdom Halls, Relief Funds, and Other Financial Scams and Schemes of Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by Watchtower-Free in

  a few seconds ago this hit the net todayhttp://jwvictims.org/conventions-kingdom-halls-relief-funds-and-other-financial-scams-and-schemes-of-jehovahs-witnesses/.

  conventions, kingdom halls, relief funds, and other financial scams and schemes of jehovahs witnesses.

  jehovahs witnesses often note that at their meetings (like church services), they dont pass a collection plate.

  Today at the Circuit Assembly in London, OH they said that so far in 2018, there has been $30 million spent on relief work. My guess is that for every house that gets repairs they are asking the owner to send in their check from the insurance company to Warwick.

  JW: How was your morning in service?

  Me: Good. At this one door, I was "boasting in Christ" to this lady. (Phil 3:3)

  JW: What?

  Me: Yeah, "so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified" (2 Thess 1:12)

  JW: But...what about Jehovah??

  Me: "do not become ashamed about the witness about our Lord" (2 Tim 1:8)

  JW: Uhh...

  Me: Yeah, I told that lady, "Rise, get baptized, and wash your sins away by your calling on his name.’ (Acts 22:16)

  JW: Why you preaching your own thing?

  Me:  For I am preaching, not about myself, but about Jesus Christ as Lord (2 Co 4:5)

  JW: But, what about Jehov..-

  Me: (cutting her off) Look, let's change the subject. I heard there was 8 baptized at your assembly. It's nice to see that "many are becoming believers in the Lord" (Acts 9:42)

  JW: You mean they search the scriptures and come to Jehovah's organization!

  Me: Nope. They should have come to Jesus so that they have life. (John 5:40)

  JW: Nope?! You got it all wrong. Romans 10:13 says to call on Jehovah to get saved?!

  Me: tisk, tisk. Acts 8:12 says "there's no other name than JESUS to get saved"

  JW: big eye-roll

  Me: Look here, I'm ready to die for the name of Jesus (Acts 21:13)

  JW: Well, I'll die for Jehovah, so there! (thumbing nose in air)

  Me: Let me cut to the chase. Do you have Christ's spirit? (Romans 8:9)

  JW: what?

  Me: We need the spirit of Jesus (Phil 1:9)

  JW: I belong to Jehovah and his organization!

  Me: I belong to Jesus, he's my master (1 Co 3:23, Col 3:24)

  Me: You're lookin at me funny. Just ask brother elder about what I'm saying. He's "fine soldier of Christ" (2 Tim 2:3)

  JW: (Clearly upset) Look brother, you need to stop all this Jesus stuff. You sound like Christendom.

  Me: (stepping closer) No one can separate me from the love of Christ, it compels me! (Ro 8:35, 2 Co 5:14)

  JW: (Bigger eye-roll) When I got baptized, I decided to get to know Jehovah and his org.

  Me: I decided not to know anything except Jesus. He's the perfector of my faith. (1 Co 2:2, Heb 12:2)

  JW: Jehovah is God!!!!

  Me: Jesus is Lord! (1 Co 12:3)

  JW: But we honor Jehovah more than Jesus

  Me: If you don't honor Jesus to the SAME level as you do Jehovah, then it's like you don't honor God at all.

  JW: (Giving up and starting to walk away) Oh, Jesus...

  Me: That's right.
